After seeing bright animal prints in some of the season’s most major fashion shows, we were totally intrigued. DKNY doled out rad red cheetah spots, Burberry showed off an abstracted giraffe pattern, and Moschino Cheap and Chic matched exaggerated leopard with a must-have mini.

The verdict? Eccentric animal print is awesome. The difference between yesterday’s tame(r) natural-colored motifs and today’s mega-bright mania is that bigger is better and colorful is cooler. We suggest wearing these standout pieces with oversize knits, sleek skinnies, jewel-tone accessories, and a signature strut (adapted for the school hallways, of course).
